Our Community’s Collective Vision

A sustainable culture of learning at home, in school, at work and throughout the community.

Successful communities support education and learning. If each nonprofit organization stays true to its mission while deepening its commitment to the value of lifelong learning, the result will be student success, improved health, urban vitality, and county-wide economic growth.

The Learning Network of Greater Kalamazoo offers the Greater Kalamazoo area a collective vision for moving forward. This network is a dynamic collaboration of people and organizations committed to building community-wide support for transforming how, and how well, we prepare everyone who lives in Kalamazoo County for lifelong success.
